Youth Shelter To Get Check From Wendy's

October 2, 1985

MERRITT ISLAND — At the annual Crosswinds Youth Crisis Shelter open house Friday, a check for more than $8,000 for the renovations will be presented by BSF Foods, which holds the franchise for Wendy's of Brevard County.

Other highlights of the afternoon will be awards to civic organizations and businesses for their contributions to Operation Love, the name given the 2- year-long project to renovate the 14-bed facility. To date $20,000 has been donated.

The 60-year-old structure served as the Brevard USO during World War II, and needs new wiring, plumbing, painting and improved air conditioning.

The Crisis Shelter, a temporary shelter for children 6 to 18, has been in operation for 10 years.

Crosswinds has assisted more than 400 children a year reunite with their families.
